I've been using ExpressPCB for quite awhile now and have had them convert my projects to Gerber format for archiving.

Just received the email quoted below. Now, Gerbers come free with every order so you can use their software, get prototype boards quickly and then have Gerbers for your production orders. This move eliminates one obstacle people have had with ExpressPCB and their "proprietary" (which has always been Gerber) board format.

Free gerber files with any board order!

We recently completed our Gerber Conversion promotion in response to our March survey, with great interest and participation from our loyal customers. Now it's time for a long term solution!

ExpressPCB® is proud to offer free Gerber Gonversions with every board order!! You will now see gerber files attached with the e-mail we send for your tracking number when orders ship. We appreciate all the feedback you provided from the survey, and are working to continue making changes, and offering new features and services.

What does this mean for customers who have purchased an ExpressPCB Membership? Obviously free Gerber Conversions were a major reason many chose to become members. We are working to update the offerings within the membership, to provide value, and meet your needs. More details will follow in coming weeks!!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us by e-mail: support@expresspcb.com. Thank you for allowing ExpressPCB to be your partner in creating the future tomorrow. We hope you have a great day!
